Oh wow, this has an absolutely gorgeous atmosphere to it. The fact that you did this in 90 minutes is even more impressive. Really nice job, lots of subtle details, a nice emotion despite the lack of complete faces, etc.

Love it. 💚💚

Thank you so much! For some reason, yeah, the general composition idea came to me randomly last night - silhouettes, with just her hands on his muzzle. Seemed to focus more on their connection without their whole faces, strangely. Anyway, thanks again <333

The style always has such a dreamy and out of body look to it. The artistic blur, the haze, and the glow. I've seen a lot of people try such a style, but this is definitely the best interpretation I've seen in recent memory. Always my pleasure to offer compliments where they're duly deserved! 💚💚💚

Wow, that actually really means a ton to me - I've always tended towards overworking/overdetailing until they're lifeless sterile plastic things, while I've always admired the folks who can do beautiful vibrant sketches and speedpaints that feel a million times more alive. When it comes to my personal work, I have a tendency to get bogged down in perfectionism, so I instead have taken to trying out experimental speedpainty stuff, keeping it loose, not letting myself get drawn into details, hoping it'll turn out okay. So... yeah! Super means a lot you think I've done a good job there <3 It's always been my biggest artistic weakness, I think x_x

Awww, I don't know if I'd really call any of your art "lifeless sterile plastic things." You have some art that definitely focuses pretty heavily on detail, but then that's always attracted me to your art too. It's amazing what you can do with that real eye for detail, and with that perfectionist attitude. I don't think that's a bad thing, it's just a part of what makes your style yours.

Of course, admiring what others can do is an important part of improving yourself as an artist, and I definitely get what you mean. Some people can make an incredibly alive scene out of what seems like almost nothing, out of art that is far more simple than the kind of stuff you do. But, that's why it's really neat to see you taking a swing at it. You've still managed a lot of those little details, but you've blended them beautifully into a more quickly done art piece.

I do think that there's a difficulty that's inherit in this kind of art. When you're doing super detailed art, you have real world references to look at. You can look at examples of fur, scales, wolves, trees, etc. You have seen them with your own eyes, there's a kind of connection that's inherent there. But when you do something like this... you know what they both look like, but you've got to create a nice blend between highlighting the details that matter, blurring certain areas, giving a little glow here, a bit of darkening there, etc. There's a lot more imagination and artistic talent that goes into knowing what makes something like this good in my opinion, instead of making something that's too blurred, or too much glow, or too little detail, etc.

With all of that said... From what I've seen in your gallery, this definitely seems like a big step towards a new style for you. I'm excited to see where it leads! 💚💚💚

Also sorry, I know this is really long, and I don't mean to like... comment jack your post lol.
